I'm a bit confused from the after post #4 from Target Sports. Maybe they can confirm some things:

Why include the picture of the OTAL-A and ITAL-A? I note that these units (which are more heavily controlled in their original form, in the US at least) have an "or" clause, which states they have either the visible laser, or the IR.

Is the model being brought in actually a modified OTAL (or ITAL)? Modified as in the lower powered green visible laser?

If not, with the DBAL-I2, I presume that the IR "guts" are removed, and that is where the second laser that the original post mentioned (being both red and green) is mounted?
Does this mean it is still the DBAL-I2 housing, with just different internals?

Who is doing the modifications? Is the unit modified by LDI at the factory, or after the fact by the Canadian distributor?

Finally, are you willing to entertain looking into the export permits required for the full IR version? I've been lead to believe (by the US DoS, no less) that it should be possible.

The units we are selling are assembled as complete units by the factory, currently we are not in a position to offer the IR units, we spoke to the distributor and made it clear that no IR units are currently available for commercial sales, while exemptions due exist for LE/MIL under ITAR - they are only for organizations and not individuals who work for the agencies - unless the authorizing person or persons are willing to sign off for you. OTAL & ITAL units will also be available but strictly in visible laser configurations, if anything changes we will advise all who are interested.

While I would still prefer the IR model, for those that are on the fence with these, I have to say the green visible laser is very cool. Super bright, even in the middle of the day, and are a lot of fun on the range (which is what we'd all be using this version of the DBAL for anyway!)

Not entirely true, for most people the lack of IR function is a deal breaker. Many Canadians are starting to pick up Gen3 NVG's whether passive or active for professional (training) and hobby purposes. Because "owning the night" is just damn cool.
